Dominican Monastery

Bol, Croatia

In at the place in Bol where once was a bishop's palace today is the Dominican Monastery. It was built in 1475 and very close to it is a small church of Our Lady of Mercy. The most precious heritage of both monastery and church is the renaissance painting of Madonna and Child with Saints.

One of the hidden gems of the Adriatic. Great beach, nice archaeological museum, great chapel.

Museum is nice, but a bit underwhelming as it’s small and has no air conditioning (during July and August you will be sweating inside). Nice church

Quite simple and small monastery. Worth of visiting once. The museum part is the artefacts there are amazing and really historical.

Kakesbeck Castle

Kakesbeck is one of the largest medieval fortifications in Münsterland and the oldest castle in Lüdinghausen. The imposingly grown complex originated in 1120 as a motte, a small hilltop tower castle. After numerous changes of ownership, the castle was extended onto two islands, but it was not until the 14th century that it underwent significant alterations and extensions under the von Oer family. The estate experienced its heyday in the middle of the 18th century, when it covered an area of almost one square kilometre and consisted of five further outer castles in addition to the core castle, which were secured by ramparts and moats.

The well-maintained condition of the castle today is thanks to the late Wilfried Grewing, the former lord of the castle. The foundation named after him has been particularly committed to preserving the property since 2020.
